If I had to guess, I'd say that the new programming that the fighters got in the last update is the problem. Since they now stay out of PD range, that may include the PD range of the planet, meaning they can't get close enough now to fire their bombs.
Is anyone else having this problem, at a different planet or server?

the colony and brood have fighters that you can swap out like for fighters that atack ships or fighters that can bomb a planet. it's not a problem that happens all the time but is getting more common for me. was wondering if anyone else has this problem.

didnt they fire at all?
they used to have only 1 shot but kept flying around until theyre shot down or called back
another guess:
what did you target the planet itself or a building/ tile on it ?
then i'd guess it might have to do something with the improved ai some versions ago ( afaik the ai tries to cease fire until they have a clear view of the target)
apart from that, bomber-fighters just suck, last time i checked, a full "volley" from a brood did barely as much damage as a single bomb from a frig

no they didnt fire at all that i could tell and i was aiming at the center u know on the name when u click on a planet. it has allways worked. kills population and resources that way and i keep the structures intack. and there not to bad not as effective as a bomber but if it was then we wouldn't need a bomber ne more. and they keep firing for a whil not just once. ive sent all i could to the point where i could'nt send anymore and sat there watching them oblitarate the planet.

i think u need to turn on your scanners, also fighters stay away from enemies, if there are enemies orbiting the planet they wont bomb. ive tried in scenario
